TY - JOUR T1 - Syllable-based Korean POS Tagging Based on Combining a Pre-analyzed Dictionary with Machine Learning AU - Lee, Chung-Hee AU - Lim, Joon-Ho AU - Lim, Soojong AU - Kim, Hyun-Ki JO - Journal of KIISE, JOK PY - 2016 DA - 2016/1/14 DO - KW - morphological analysis KW - POS tagging KW - machine learning KW - pre-analyzed dictionary AB - This study is directed toward the design of a hybrid algorithm for syllable-based Korean POS tagging. Previous syllable-based works on Korean POS tagging have relied on a sequence labeling method and mostly used only a machine learning method. We present a new algorithm integrating a machine learning method and a pre-analyzed dictionary. We used a Sejong tagged corpus for training and evaluation. While the machine learning engine achieved eojeol precision of 0.964, the proposed hybrid engine achieved eojeol precision of 0.990. In a Quiz domain test, the machine learning engine and the proposed hybrid engine obtained 0.961 and 0.972, respectively. This result indicates our method to be effective for Korean POS tagging.
